Discord's back in Ponyville after a long vacation. Caught between his desire for chaos and wanting to keep his few friends, can Discord sate his desire for mischief in a way that doesn't warrant punishment? Duh, look at the title.

Grey walls. Doors that only go in. Inexplicable sewing paraphernalia. Discord's been through worse. There's no way this little setback is going to get to him. Still, those walls seem awfully close. What would Twilight do?

Ill-content with his life in Ponyville, Discord looks for a way to aleve his growing sense of boredom. Believing his is sincere, Fluttershy suggests helping ponies in ways only he can. And Discord has such a unique way to help ponies in need...

After half of Twilight's mane gets ripped off, she decides that it's time to visit the Author of All Beings in order to give herself a sparkly magical mane, just like Celestia. One problem: the Author of All Beings is a massive jerkface.

It's been six months since Tirek was defeated, and Trixie is fine. Trixie isn't scared. She's not lonely, or sad, or even worried. She is, however, unable to sleep. And yet the nightmares won't stop coming.

It's been a few months since Discord's "redemption," and as far as he's concerned, he is the goodest good guy ever to be good. Nopony in history has ever been as perfect as him!That is, until Princess Luna points out that he's still pulling pranks and still hurting his friends. In her eyes, Discord isn't a "good guy"—in fact, he's not even trying to be.So when Luna challenges Discord to give up his chaotic ways for good and prove that he's truly been redeemed, he's more than willing to play along. But can Discord ever really give up his evil ways? Or is he just a disaster waiting to happen?

Mayor Mare cast a wary glance at the flowers, but still walked forward to sniff them. She stuck her head in just as Discord snapped his talons again. When she stepped back, her face was covered in bees.

Huh. I'm surprised this doesn't have more hits. While it might be a little bit of a rehash of Discord's moment with Twi at the end of "Twilight's Kingdom," (a moment I've always loved, as he was finally truly redeemed at this point) I think it's very suitable. More like him getting his own personal friendship lesson. And from Luna of all ponies. While you didn't directly reference it, I'm guessing this is at least somewhat inspired by the Discord & Luna Friends Forever comic.

It was almost like an epilogue. A final piece in getting Discord to really get what his pranks actually do. That just getting a laugh isn't enough. But the ending is what really sells it. That he's finally gotten what harmless pranks actually are... and he's not giving those up. Because, come on.

Best part? I could hear every character in their VA's voice. Nailed each one of them. And I've seen Discord done wrong a lot. So nice job!
